I was in that crowd. I’ll never forget that day.
Unbillable wtf
Same.
Same. Just looking at my pics today.
@@CURTISC102 If you look up entertainment weekly magazine, I was actually photographed in that crowd photo.
U lucky dog
I was there in 1994. Eating mushrooms and watching the sky turn purple and the people turn green. Laughed till it hurt in all that love and madness.
Fuckin A bud
I was there too... I was smack-dab in the middle of that giant green day mud fight.
@@BarekHalfhand times seemed to be so much simpler back then, right? Great music everywhere you turned, friendly people around you, no riots like the 1999 shit show. If I had a time machine, THAT'S where I'd go for 3 days.....back to August 12,13,14, 1994. I just graduated high school and my whole life was ahead of me. The salad days of my youth

I wasn't really into blind melon back then (I just remember Shannon bouncing around in his girlfriend's white dress on acid being kind of amusing) but I've taken an interest in the band over the last year or so and started lamenting Shannon's passing as symbolic of the end of that era you described. Sure I felt the loss of Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley but being a Midwesterner from Chicago and a Woodstock 94 attendee Shannon kinda hit close to home.
Those things don't happen
How he was up there trippin balls and still held it together is pure magic
Amen to that
last time i played on acid i felt every musical muscle in my body engage at once psychedelics given the right dosage work great with music
But is it good for you?
@@Eric-ff2ii well look into the study on cluster headaches and lsd or the studies on shrooms and depression
Haha exactly
The first spoken sound and you immediately know it's him. Totally unique voice.
Married for nearly 4 years with 1 baby in tow and 1 on the way back in 1994. We were young, dumb, didn't know a thing, but man did we enjoy life and the times sure seemed better. There were no daily feelings of doom and gloom and I still had all of my loved ones by my side. Today just doesn't hold those same bright feelings of hope, joy, love, and excitement. I lost my best friend last year - my husband of 31 years. Which was absolutely the stop you dead in your tracks and make you forget how to breath type of devastating. Also lost my father several years ago, all of my grandparents are gone, as well as several close friends. The 80s and early 90s were simply magical. And now ... well, let's just say it kinda sucks where this world is and where it's headed.
Stay hopeful, and keep listening to good music my friend. And Thank you for sharing your life a little bit 💕
Thanks for sharing your story. I only have my wife in this life. We both don't have parents nor supportive relatives. Sometimes is really hard to live.
So true...so sad... many greetings for you from Chile
We have our memories. Someone from childhood told me that. And it's made a difference.
You ain't lyin'.
I'm gonna be honest, that line "I just want someone to say to me, I'll always be there when you wake" hit me like a freighttrain when this song released, and I've lived by it ever since.
Relationships come and relationships go. But that line always rang true to me.
Following it was the best thing I've ever done, no matter how young and stupid I was. "Do what Shannon told ya, ya dummy!"
That's one of the deepest expressions of true, deep love I've ever heard, and I am truly thankful I get to experience it every single day these last 18 years, with a woman that I get to wake up next to every single morning.
I always kiss her on her cheek as I slip off to work, while she sleeps.
Thanks for those words Shannon.
Thanks for teaching me what real, deep and true love is.
Rest in peace my friend.
Qué hermosa canción!!! Una de las canciones más hermosas de los 90.
Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for sharing this mate, wish you the best!
Well said mate.
Sir the term wake it means a higher state of consciousness the ability to see yourself and others and the world in the most truthful way. However it's maddening there's lots of good but also great darkness in the world I don't like knowing the world suffers. Most Americans are asleep and in a dream.
He did it so effortlessly!! Opened his mouth and liquid gold flowed out. Damn!
When I arrive in Heaven, I hope I get a chance to attend all the rad concerts I missed. Sunny days and no rain :)
Me too! I loooove music!!🙏🏼♥️
rad? what are you 12?
Drank from the bottle of Jack Daniels he threw into the crowd. 94 was a magical year.
Damn dude, he passed away, I’d get tested.
@@killaklownwerld3614 I think he had AIDS
@@MutedGrowl he died from complications related to a cocaine overdose
Magical year compared with the 2000s, 10s. Oh yes
@@MutedGrowl he definitely did not have AIDS. His mother would be ashamed of you
Graduated high school that year. It was easy to feel hopeful then. Not as easy now.
Never give up hope
Life sucks man n I am younger than u. But life has nothing to offer.
What a CROWD! All singing along, tripping balls and having the time of their lives. Also yes I’m gonna be that person, NO PHONES!!!! Seems like a great time to be alive and enjoy good music.
The 70's were off the charts. I lived it.
It was!❤
brisakruspe How I wish times like this would come back again... funny thing of me to say that is because I was just a teeny, little baby in my mother's arms when this aired on TV, that this happened 5 years prior to the '99 Woodstock festival before our culture gradually tanked in terms of quality (entertainment, music, movies/TV etc.)
I can never stop agreeing with you on that! Oh how nostalgia hits the soul and mind hard!🙂
@@Ibusers1 and i wasn’t even born yet lol i’m from 2000 but it seems that i live more in the past than present. certain music give me this nostalgic feeling of something i’ve never experienced.
It was
As an old deadhead, I always find familiarity with this band in the free way they played. And Shannon....had such unique voice and range. I sure miss him.
Watching the security try to deal with Shannon Hoon mid acid trip never gets old to me lmao
Right when the first line of him singing played my dad rushed in and was like ‘hey that’s blind melon’ hard to find a voice you could mistake for his
It was incomprehensible to me, who listened to heavy metal in the 1990s.
As the end of the century passed, I started listening to it every day and found it comforting.
I always remember this song now.
For some reason, it takes me back to the 90s.
There I was, lonely and free.
I miss the days before the internet.
I was born in 02 and have grown up with Blind Melon thanks to my mom. It’s hard to explain the spiritual and special connection my mom and I have to Shannon and Blind Melon. It’s helped us through many tough times. But he’s also shown up in random places. When I’m feeling down a commercial with No Rain playing comes on. No Rain had played on my radio at work when I was particularly stressed. I listen to Blind Melon when I go on a relieving drive. And just now this video of WS 94 pops up in my recommended. Shannon speaks to both of us. To have gone to a Blind Melon concert would have been a beautiful and magical experience. I cannot preach Blind Melon enough. They hold a special place in my heart and life :)
I am so glad you get to experience the impact of Blind Melon and the 90s in general. So many great decades of music but things changed with Cell Phones/Technology becoming what it was. I would say around '01-'03ish things truly changed. Cell Phones became the norm, advancements in Technology for musical algorithms for sales/streams, etc. It truly changed music for the worse. The days of going to your states big cities music/pub venue to discover a house band that may be big someday was a hidden secret. That hidden secret is now available at a click of a mouse or a quick search online.
@@ET-df2xz cute that you ONLY pointed out the negativity. Maybe that's all your brain sees
omg i see him too!!!
I didn't grow up with it at all im from a black family so I had to discover it alone
Oh the 90’s…good times. I literally think about that time and cry at how many people I’ve lost and had much fun we had. We lived balls to the wall the whole time. Long live the 90’s ♥️
Agreed
Agreed
Fuck yeahhhhh
We had balls. We still do. Such an F’ed country when you have ‘em. I’m proud of him and proud of my dogs. Most people suck.
Yes, now everyone is lost in their phones and social media now, nobody is close anymore. Long love the 90’s!
Just a flawless voice and dude was absolutely peaking incredible stuff
I remember being like 9 when this song came out and I was blown away. The 90s rocked!!!!
SO GRATEFUL I GREW UP IN THE NINETIES AND WASNT BORN IN THEM!!!!! SO MISS THOSE DAYS🖤
Amen
This may be my favorite of the end of my high school years. I really love it to this day... Lol. Shannon Hoon was just brilliant.
I just need to say how much I love this band and Shannon Hoon. what a legend what a hero.
Just a lyrically guiness in my eyes.
Maybe a legend. Hero? What did he do that was heroic? Enough drugs to kill himself? Not really very heroic. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you don't really understand the definition of the word hero. Btw I think Shannon was pretty cool and all and wish he didn't pass so young.
@@nightwatch5843 Shannon's sister was good friends with axel rose from guns and roses.thats how they got found.
So sad... gone too soon!
Ahhh... Why can't we re-do, recapture this 90s era? Why can't we go back? Why can't Shannon -and all the great blasts still be alive? - where are you Layne? Where are you Scott? I hope you're all dancing in the sky. RIP the best time to be alive.
Tripping Balls and No Cell Phones - Gen X 4-Ever ✨
It is weird. It seems like yesterday and a million years ago. No cell phones and for most people no internet or computers.
“Escape. And everyone of you people need it.”
It all makes sense. ❤
I had this on vhs and watched it so many times… I was just 9… I am proud to be this smart kid listening to that music
This song besides being a good piece,sounds like a cry that psychologically said help me!. How sad that he has left this world the way he did
he has a good voice live which not many have ... Rip Shannon Hoon
We miss you, buddy. You were a real star.
His voice is so epic.
Anos 90. Minha adolescência. Essa música tocava o dia inteiro nas rádios. Bons tempos!
Direto do Brasil sil sil
I've seen Blind Melon in Cologne, Germany back in 1993 along with Suicidal Tendencies and Guns n Roses. Good memories.
That’s literally a dream. I wish I could be 17 in the 90s but I UNFORTUNATELY live in this dumb generation lol
That´s insane !!! :) you have beautiful memories
Shannon got his break thanks to Axl… sang back-up on a few Guns N’ Roses tracks.
I was lucky enough to see blind melon when they opened up for guns n' roses on the uyi tour. They put on an amazing show. Shannon hoon was an amazing frontman, he died way before his time. They were just starting to make it big. If shannon wouldn't have died they would have prob been one of the one hit wonders that faded away. When he died it immortalized him & the first album fovever.
Maybe someone should have told him drugs are bad
They have other good songs. Duhhh
I'm kind of ashamed to admit I'm way late to the Blind Melon party. I was 25 when this show happened and all I knew of Blind Melon was this song and Tones Of Home and both were played to death on FM radio so I never even attempted to get into this band. Fast forward to about 6 months ago and I finally listened to Soup in its entirety and then the debut album. I was absolutely floored at how incredible both albums are and have dived so deep into this band. I've got my 19 year old son totally hooked on them now as well.
Me too, and I was into Jane's Addiction, the Pixies and Soundgarden at the time, but somehow I missed Blind Melon till recently. Love how they bring in elements such as banjos, brass bands and blues guitar, they sounded so different to all the other grunge bands at the time
God, I loved his raspy voice
I miss the 90s and this music and no one having phones at gigs!
My twenties were so nice. This song was marvellous
Foi uma tarde de domingo muito louca nesse show blind melo pra sempre cara saber fazer músicas ❤
Man, I hope that someone hears this this band Blind Melon needs to be in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. They deserve it and no rain I was eight years old when that song came out in 1992 best song I have ever heard.
Everytime I hear this song now, it reminds me of the pic of Chris Farley hugging Shannon at this show. 😢
Rip brother gone and definitely not forgotten your messages still carry love ya mate
Can’t believe it’ll be 29 years in one week.
y si, van a pasar años y quizás me muera, pero cuando este en borracho pondre esta version de No Rain para volver a revivir.
yup was there, i saw myself, took me back, how time flies
EPIC. god bless the 90s.
At least he had a stellar couple of years b4. Can’t stop watching this. My absolute favorite song of 92 (93?). Memory has gone 😉🥂🥂🥂🥂.
Seen blind melon one month later open for the rolling stones in Columbia.mo.sept.18th "94" cool show☮️
loved this group! so sad it came down to drugs there's no telling what and where they would be now 😢
I was good friends with Shan in the 90s ll never forget riding around going to raves in Chicago and tripping balls and poppin E. He was kinda dating my friend Bill here there off and on but he passed away unfortunatly out of nowhere. We had so much planned to do. he was learning about techno and house and I was teaching him to dj, wanted to do more rave stuff and Manchester influenced music. Truly a great guy. World misses him still
Sounds terrible.
Lmao bill? Seriously bro hes dating a ”bill” he had a wife and a unborn child at the time of his death stop saying shameless things for gods sake
@@ghostbingchan4812I mean...being married doesn't mean a person is always faithful. He could've been cheating
Great version !
What a dope time 🥹
I love how Shannon has LEGIT so much room to run around and trip on acid! Thank God for the crowd's sake they had cords on their microphones or he may have LITERALLY taken off into the
atmosphere instead of metaphorically!
Awesome and unforgetable
You know Blind Melon ‘s No Rain did have that pleasing retro sound .
I think it's really great he dropped the mic and just kept going. Really funny shot. That makes me laugh every time.
I love this song,i love this band....and i miss shannon hoon
Master piece 🤘
Shannon, um bebezão explodindo talento. Ele foi maravilhoso! E será para sempre na nossa memória!
Que saudade de você garoto!
Fabulous performance. I wish that I could have been that fucked up at one time in my life & still functioned like that. He is fabulous.
He was tripping on acid right?
@@pasqualevella3174 IIRC, blow was his drug of choice but who knows? He seemed pretty trippy in this performance.
I was There!!!
R.I.P.
Same here! It was an amazing three days. Please tell me you were there for Peter Gabriel? That was freaking phenomenal.
Howie Duwit yes I saw Peter Gabriel. Excellent! Here is a little video I put together of some pictures I took while I was there.✌🏻
ruclips.net/video/Z_kf4_dWdIM/видео.html
Summer of 1994 was an awesome
Time for music and music festivals. I was 13 and wishing so bad I could have gone to lollapalooza and Woodstock
I wish that I was there!!!!@ just for Blind Melon
I was there. Crazy times!!
It's crazy that the one's with the biggest energy always have to leave us early. It's like you can hear in their work that they won't be around for long so you have to take the time you have and enjoy it.
Can't wait for the blind melon/blind guardian tour
The difference between 93 Hoon and 95 Hoon is intense. Here we are in the middle, on the way down. So sad to see how quickly a drug like coke can ruin your life.
My gawd he was amazing!! RIP Shannon, you are sorely missed ✌️❤️🤘
Scott,
Its rock n roll. No he wont. Satan has a replacement waiting for each of his dead stars.
@@thecrossedtheroadfund4289 Wow, sounds like jeezus pissed in your cereal this morning… why go through life so negative, do you believe he intended or brought undo harm upon anyone… more so than you or I? I’d be willing to bet he’s brought more joy and happiness to the world than you ever could dream of…
So again, peace, love, and rock n fucking roll baby!!
YT recommended this on August 13th 2023. Its fate of the algorithm
The way Shannon turned around as he was running so he could watch the Mic be jerked out of his hand, yep it was some good acid 😂
Most Woodstock moment of Woodstock 94
Na,RUclips primus-thpse damned blue collar tweekers(Woodstock 94) it's heaps better
@@matthewcrowe5023 mmm perhaps you're right, i mean i like Primus more as a band if i have to choose but Blind Melon had that Woodstock vibe, grunge in general i think idk always seen the grunge generation as the sons of the hippie generation
Rip Shannon, one of my favorite vocalists and biggest inspiration to just be myself.
Woodstock 94 musically?
By FAR the best Woodstock
God Bless his beautiful sweet soul.
I'm singing with you Shannon 🎉😎🎉
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watching the puddles gather rain
And all I can do.....is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view
But it's not sane
It's not sane
my ring tone forever I loved them .
great memories no auto tune no phones, just enjoy and celebrate
I'm 22 years old, born in 98 if you dont feel like doing the math. Hooked up with this cougar couple months ago she's 47 and we talked about her time at Woodstock 94. Wish I could've been there, what a time to be alive man.
r/ihavesex
lol why do people write this like it´s interesting to others
Naaaa. Que versión de este tema!! Que tema, x Dios!!
He was amazing. Those band were all as good as each other. Not like the crap they knock out today.
Richard Shannon Hoon (Lafayette, Indiana, 26 de septiembre de 1967-Nueva Orleans, Luisiana, 21 de octubre de 1995) fue un cantante, Guitarrista y letrista estadounidense que lideró la banda de rock Blind Melon hasta su muerte por sobredosis de cocaína el 21 de octubre de 1995 cuando solo tenía 28 años y estaba en pleno apogeo de su carrera. En vida Hoon, junto a Blind Melon publicó dos álbumes de estudio, Blind Melon y Soup, en 1992 y 1995, respectivamente, aunque un año después de su muerte, sus excompañeros editaron el disco Nico con grabaciones descartadas de los anteriores trabajos, que lleva el nombre de la hija de Shannon, Nico Blue. Hoon, cuyo estilo vocal fue comparado a menudo con el de la también fallecida Janis Joplin,[1] consiguió oponerse al estilo reinante en Los Ángeles, el hair metal, para componer canciones basadas en el rock de los años 1970, con representantes como Led Zeppelin o Grateful Dead.
Hoon's voice almost sounds like that of Led Zeppelin. Great time it was to be alive then.
I miss artists with raw talent rather than manufactured talent. I can't imagine what a Woodstock event would look like today. Pop hell.
Shannon… you went out like a rock star… and you are missed.
He’s tripping balls and wearing his wife’s dress. 😅 love him
Beautiful
ugh i was only 8/9 in 1994; would have been cool to be a bit older and experience this even second hand on live TV rather than on videos years later
Ohh the pretty colors are amazing weeeee
I was there great times..
A terrible loss but he was great trippin balls at Woodstock.
Cocaine toxicity COD
History Im 86 a little grew up but so peaceful Mellon hits
Lol born in 87
Music saves
It's so sad what happened to this guy, he went over the rainbow, to the dark side of the moon!. RIP 🌼
Amazing preformance
Just occurred to me this has a Birdsong vibe. I was at WS 94, though I can’t remember all the acts I saw.
This concert at this time was kinda the peak of Liberalism. The Cold War just ended a few years before, liberalism had won and the liberal ideal of ‘freedom’ was on full display. It’s been downhill since.
This guy had an incredible voice! Seemed like a beautiful person just struggling with all the bullshit of life. Wish he’d made it through. Such a fucking waste!
I regret a lot. I was 26 in 1994 but didn’t get to do anything cool like this.
I was born in 68 as well. I was reading Nietzsche and have no regrets - Amor Fati. Now I'm standing in front of an open grow tent watering Bigfoot Glue. Amor Fati
You're honestly experiencing it better now watching this. Concerts were fcking sht holes lol
@@angelbast3rd133 - Maybe you’ve got a point. Things didn’t turn out so well for him. I’m experiencing things now that he can’t.
I didn’t go to this either. I was 20.
I wanted to go.
But… you and I… were still of this generation. It was our time. Regardless of what we did or did not do.
We are apart of this and this is a part of us, friend.
The late 80s and 90s were magical but now it feels like the magician gave the trick away and it was a con, I don't think the 90s was a con I think we were genuine about it, we weren't perfect but there was very little hate for others going around and things felt good, it felt like the world could be good, at least for awhile there.
wow... I was there, and recall this very well... from my recollection they were not huge massive yet at this point.. I could be wrong but being there I was like "who the hell are these guys"
Hey... Searching for my soul mate... I need you now 😢
BLIND MELON MY LOVE ,FOR EVER❤🥰❤
Intro is phenomenal
RIP ❤️❤️❤️
Shannon Hoon died 14 months later. He looks like he's blasted on heroine here. Tragic.
RIP Shannon Hoon age 28 .... tragic death 1995
He was tripping balls on acid here.
